| Post subject: | Steering column drop bracket |
As I mentioned in a previous post I am shipping my car to Australia in September. Now I have a steering column drop bracket fitted (which is allowed in the uk ). Are these allowed in Australia. Just asking as if not I will remove it ans set the column back to standard. Many thanks Zeroasylum |

1/2 the Oz made Minis here seem to have one fitted. I never have trouble passing the annual pink slip inspection, in NSW |

Kevin - would you have the chrome bracket that goes under the dash rail (not the drop down bracket)? I have a drop down one and thought I had the top chrome one but cannot find it anywhere. Don't seem to be available new or repro. |

I do have a black one `somewhere' that I took out of my `70 Matic. I fitted a chrome Deluxe one instead. But God knows where I put it... If you want a chrome one, probably John Smidt or Matt Read would have it. |

Many thanks Zeroasylum As far as I know this is legal, However, Once You have the car Here I would remove the steering column and inspect the splines on the inner column, and then re fit if the splines are in good order, following the correct procedure, Why, Because not everyone who fits the lowering brackets fit them correctly. and often as not the splines wear out on the inner column, this has a very bad effect on the steering this may seam rather drastic to some people, But I have a collection of well over 200 inner steering columns with little to no splines so to me it makes very good sense, |
